[He calls out, softly, his words a mere whisper. If Poland was asleep, it shouldn't wake him up.] Poland? Are you awake?

[A little drowsily, Poland opens his eyes]

Mmhm. What's up?

Thought so... Sleep. I'm here, I'll watch over you. It will be alright.

[Bites his lip a little, and tries to sulk instead of looking worried. It doesn't quite work.]

I'm like, almost 500, Liet. I don't need to be looked after all the time...

...You like, won't go away?

No, I won't go away.

[He moves a bit, shifting until he lies next to Poland and can pet his hair.]

I would never leave you, as long as you want me here.

So like... If I fall asleep, you're not gonna be gone when I wake up?

[...Okay. That's good... Feeling Liet be near him is calming right now, so he curls up and lets himself be petted, wrapping his arms around Liet's waist.]

[And it feels good to know Poland close, with him. Good that he seems to be as okay as he can be in the current situation... probably better than he'S been in a while.]

I won't be gone. I won't leave the room until you wake up.

[Well, still a little jittery, and trying to get over feeling like Liet's going to just up and leave him forever now that he knows what he does... But yes, better than he's been.]

Mmh... 'Kays... [Nuzzles!]

...I'm sorry.

...Like, what for?

For not noticing, for all the things that I said, for making you feel awful...

[Hugs Liet tighter, rubbing his back softly]

Ohmigod, Liet, don't be dumb! You like, didn't mean to or anything, and I'm fine, okay? It's no big. Gawd.

[Buries his head at Poland's shoulder.]

But I am, I really am. For... I didn't want to forbid you to wear women's clothes, but... but I thought that it was wrong and when I saw it I... [blushes, glad that Poland can't see it] ...I reacted to it and I knew that I shouldn't. And I thought that... that it would just be safer if I didn't see it.

...Wait, for serious? That's what that was all about?

[...You should never have let him know that. Ever. He is going to make your life HELL.]

Partly? [He pulls away a bit, suddenly serious, of the protective!knight kind, not the awkward!confession kind.] And because it is dangerous. What if someone takes advantage of you if you get drunk like that and alone?

[...Smiiiiirk.]

Oh, come on, Liet. As if! Wearing a dress isn't gonna make me not able to take care of myself all of a sudden or something...

[Scruffles Liet's hair. It's cute when you're all irrationally protective ♥

[Laughs sheepishly before getting serious again.]

But it might give them dangerous ideas that they wouldn't have otherwise.

[Blushing a little, because ffff, what is this?]

I'm... totally sure they wouldn't, Liet. Seriously.

You can't be sure. And when... Poland, please be careful. I know that Ryohei is a good person, but if it had been anyone else...

[...A-Awkwardface]

L-Liet, we--nothing happened, we were just drinking and I fell asleep, I totally swear...

I'm sure there didn't, he seems to be a good person. [Stern.] But if it had be someone else...

[He shakes his head, running his fingers softly through Liet's hair]

You're totally worrying about nothing, Liet. Like, no one was gonna hurt me. No one's gonna. 'Kays?

[...No, he's not taking this problem very seriously.]

[Leans slightly into the touch, shivering, and then pulls away as fast as he can, biting down on his lip.]

Please... promise me to not wear women's clothes when you're alone?

[Blinks, then pouts]

That's totally not fair! Uncool, Liet... I'm like, not gonna get into any trouble!

Promise.

[Still stern and trying to calm down his slightly quickened breath.]
